Multi-Platinum Country music hitmaker Scotty McCreery kicks off the summer with the release of his breezy new single, "Bottle Rockets,: featuring the iconic Hootie & The Blowfish.
The track, co-written by McCreery, Brent Anderson, Derek George, Jeremy Bussey, Monty Criswell, Frank Rogers, Bobby Hamrick, Darius Rucker, Mark Bryan, Dean Felber, and Jim Sonefeld and produced by Rogers, takes fans back to the carefree teenage days of summer.
North Carolina native McCreery called on his South Carolina neighbors, Hootie & The Blowfish, who recorded a new version of their mega-hit "Hold My Hand" for the track, to join him in reflecting on the simpler times.
"This song takes me back to those summers of having fun with no responsibilities with good times and good tunes. For me growing up in the Carolinas, Hootie & the Blowfish were just massive and such a huge part of great summers growing up. That's what this song 'Bottle Rockets' is about," said McCreery.
McCreery will be heading overseas to the United Kingdom this week for five headlining shows in Belfast, Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester and London with Caylee Hammack as his opening act.
He will be performing at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville on June 4th and during CMA Music Festival in Nissan Stadium on June 5th.
McCreery will tour at fairs and festivals throughout the summer. This Fall, he will be co-headlining the Two for the Road Tour alongside Dustin Lynch. The tour is set to kick-off on November 6th in Saginaw, Michigan.
Recently, McCreery announced that the expanded version of his career-changing album, Seasons Change: Platinum Edition, will be available on June 20th.
